Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a multi-phase prospective cohort study. In the first phase the investigators will interview parents and consult the Family Research Advisory Committee (FRAC) to determine their attitudes toward day of surgery research consent. The investigators will use the participants' responses and instruments already found in the literature to develop the questionnaire. In the second phase, the investigators will interview parents and consult FRAC about the questionnaire to determine which items to add, remove, or modify. In the third phase, the investigators will distribute the adapted questionnaire to clarify parents' attitudes surrounding day of surgery consent. The investigators will use the results of the third phase to develop a table of guidelines for day of surgery consent. In the final phase, the investigators will interview parents, healthcare professionals, and consult FRAC for feedback and modification of the table of guidelines.
